Is It Safe To Take Xanax Along With Keppra To Prevent Seizures?

Over the weekend I had a syncope episode which caused me to fall and hit my head bad 3 times this caused bleeding to my brain and then a seizure. I m now on Keppra to help prevent seizures until my case is further examined and until the bleed is gone in my brain in case I would happen to seize again. I also regularly take xanax but I was wondering if this combination will be dangerous for my head trauma at all or if I would be ok?

Hello,

Xanax is not safe while having a head injury. Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
